GOAL

VSF-Belgium tries to improve livelihoods of livestock dependent

people in the South. This is only possible by creating an enabling

environment in Belgium/Europe. This enabling environment can

be created through actions of Belgian citizens (students and livestock

professionals), politicians and private sector actors (dairy).
